Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters to talk about Trump, tariffs, and aging politicians.
He also discusses handing over the Deputy Prime Minister role to David Seymour this year.
On with the show:
Winston Peters:
The ageless NZ First leader talks about aging politicians, Trump, tariffs, world peace, polls, and passing the Deputy Prime Minister baton to his nemesis David Seymour.
Mike McIntyre:
Jarden’s head of commodities comments on reversal in fortunes with last night’s 1.4% increase in the GDT auction mirroring the fall in the first auction of the new calendar year (WMP 5%, SMP 2%, AMF -7.8%, Butter 2.2%, and Cheese 2.8%).
Does this lock in Fonterra’s $10 milk price? (Which is where the futures market is currently sitting.)
Jen Corkran:
Rabobank’s senior animal protein analyst and red meat specialist updates a positive market as we play a guessing game around Trump and tariffs.
Sandra Matthews:
Tairāwhiti sheep and beef farmer is the current chair of Rural Women New Zealand’s Board and the organisation’s new national president.
Along with her husband Ian, Sandra runs Te Kopae Station, a 536-hectare sheep and beef farm at Rere, near Gisborne.
Rowena Duncum:
The Country’s backup host talks about her latest Beef + Lamb NZ podcast and how you can join her on a farming tour of Australia in May.
